Miroku_Dave Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've fished the river at Thirsk a couple of times when I was there on holiday.. Only ever caught two little brown trout.. Robo Theres one peg that is owned by the parish and if youre a resident of Topcliffe then your allowed to fish it (only in daylight hours), all the others are Barbel society and Bradford I think, all the bait ends up at this one peg and if you persevere its a winner! I had a 9lb Barbel the same day that pulled my rod in to the water but we managed to get it back with the fish still attached, im not sure if that one counts though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caeser Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Not mine but my brothers. 580lb Blue Marlin, caught off Gran Canaria. Several years ago. 9 foot long from tip of snout to tail. It was on for 45 minutes. Tagged and released. The weight was estimated from it's measured length by the skipper against a chart. Awesome experience.

mikee Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 OK just for a change, Whats everyones most memorable fish? For me it was my first cat from the ebro. We were staying on a boat on the river and had just got to where we would be fishing for the week. It was just getting dark and out of the darkness appeared a canoe containing a german guide we had met earlier who was with a group on the far bank (about 500m at that point). We got talking and he said, in broken english, that it was worth chucking a rod out for an hour or two off the house boat. So we tackled up as he was paddling off. Once he had disappeared we heardhis voice comeing from the darkness 'If you wait, they will come' . 15 minutes later my rod just ripped off and as I struck I could feel the power straight away, it was unlike anything I had experianced before. So the boats moving with it as im playing the fish and every now and then you could catch a glimpse of the dead trees poking up from the water, it was pretty spooky! after 5 minutes or so we got our first look at it when its head popped up next to the boat, cue mad panic from the boys who were supposed to be gloving it for me :unsure: . I supose me shoting 'Glove it Mart, just glove it for god sake' didnt help. We then realised that lifting an 80lb cat 2 foot up the boat with one hand wasnt easy. Picture one bloke holding the fish, another holding him and me holding the holder while offering constructive critiscism on how they should be doing it Anyway, just the whole memory stays with me and sums up what its all about, making you feel 5 again. Christmas eve afternoon about 15 years ago I was in the local pub several pints of Holsten fighting larger the wrong side of good when my fishing mate came in and said it was a perfect afternoon for a carp and as i was fairly well oiled he would help me with my tackle round the lake, 2 rods baited and cast into the lake i sat slumped in my chair when after about 15 minutes one rod took off, another 15 minutes later and a spanking mirror of just over 34lb, my p.b was being photo'd, we packed up and went back to the pub, all in all the trip lasted about 90 minutes from pub to pub mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) 51lb mirror carp (profile pic), 30lb pike (river Yare) and a few decent cod that were never weighed as we didn't have any scales on board, we were fishing off a couple of gas platforms in the southern sector north sea, they were real clonkers!

wingnut Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Typical woman, take her fishing, she falls asleep in the sunshine, wakes up just as the float disapears and ends up landing one of the biggest fish in the pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
